Chronicles of Encamp

Encamp, Andorra's second-largest town, was founded in the 12th century as a fortified settlement. The town's strategic location at the foot of the Pyrenees made it a key hub for trade and commerce, with the construction of the Romanesque Church of Sant Esteve dating back to the 12th century. In the 20th century, Encamp underwent significant modernization, with the development of the cable car and ski resorts. Today, the town maintains its traditional charm while embracing sustainable tourism practices, with a strong focus on eco-friendly initiatives and cultural heritage preservation. Visitors can still explore the town's historic center, with its cobblestone streets and picturesque squares.
